Instructions
Bring 3 liters of water to a boil in a large pot. Add a generous pinch of salt to the boiling water.
Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water according to the package instructions, usually 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and translucent.
Add the ground beef and Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and red wine. Mix well to combine.
Season the sauce with oregano, basil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Once the sauce is thick and flavorful, toss the cooked spaghetti into the skillet with the sauce. Mix well to coat the pasta evenly.
Serve the Spaghetti Ala Steve topped with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
